Hundreds of Thousands Of People May Die Tomorrow Afternoon in Hurricane

Category: Environment
Posted on: November 14, 2007 4:31 PM, by Greg Laden

Hopefully not, but the prospects of a major disaster in the Indian Ocean Basin are looming, and it is strangely underreported. Not a mention on CNN, for instance.

Chris Mooney is telling us that it is Time to Panic. He and I may not entirely agree on every detail of framing, but there is no way to argue with the man on this one.

A Category 4 hurricane/cyclone is about to plow into what might be the most vulnerable place on the earth, the northeastern part of the Indian Ocean Basin, I think it is going to hit Calcutta or environs late tomorrow.

Information is available here on Chris's site, and he has links elsewhere.
